Hacking Heaven

Description: 
What if the hardest part of getting into Heaven isn't dying. . .but learning how to let go? What if life has been happening FOR you instead of TO you all along? 

Finn Fletcher woke up in Heaven with one impossible wish: to stay with Jessica, the woman he feels is his soulmate across lifetimes. Heaven had other plans. Before he can return to Jessica, Finn must face his life review, survive celestial bureaucracy, and resist the urge to hack a system that wasn't designed to be hacked. But some lessons cannot be shortcut. Some miracles only arrive when we let go.

Along the way, Hacking Heaven explores questions many of us have quietly asked our entire lives: Why do some people suffer while others seem to thrive? What is the source of déjà vu, synchronicity, and those inexplicable moments that feel strangely familiar? Is fate written, or are we writing it as we go? A luminous, funny, and quietly life-changing novel about love, the soul's long journey, and the possibility that everything has been leading somewhere all along.

There's Trouble in Paradise

Description: 
There's Trouble in Paradise is a provocative story of love, idealism, rebellion, and the price of choosing a different life. 

Against the turbulent backdrop of the late 1960s and early 1970s, a young musician and an aspiring investigative photojournalist walk away from conventional careers and retreat to the Vermont woods in search of freedom, simplicity, and each other. But paradise proves far more complicated than they imagined. 

As winter closes in, two reclusive brothers, a hungry land developer, and a town steeped in politics and self-interest force the couple to confront a question that still resonates today: How much are you willing to sacrifice to live according to your principles? Part love story, part social drama, and part battle between ordinary people and powerful interests, it is a compelling journey about finding your voice, fighting for what is right, and discovering whether love can survive when the dream begins to unravel.

Why I Kill: Frank's Journals

Description: 
"... a haunting tale of how a man who hunts killers devolves into a killer himself." —New York Times bestselling author Reed Farrel Coleman 

Nothing is personal. Everything is calculated. 

At least, that is what Frank Cappelano tells himself. Once a decorated FBI special agent, Frank had the mind, training, and access to become one of the Bureau's best. Instead, he walked away from the law.

It started as research. Just doing the math and keeping the world in order. 

But at the center of the equation are people who remind Frank that life is full of contradictions, and there's a difference between the truth and what we remember. 

Why I Kill is a chilling psychological portrait and a prequel to Veritas, the first novel in author Charles D'Amico's award-winning Neil Baggio suspense series.
